Patent CA-2289478-C (CA)
Title: Parameterized image orientation for computer displays
Inventor: BADGER ALAN E
IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 1999-03-19
Granted: 2001-02-27
Abstract: A system and method accomodate several image orientation modes in a single software driver (208). The driver utilizes the same software instructions for each orientation mode in order to transfer image information to display memory (212). The driver instructions which transfer the image information to display memory utilize parameters to determine where each successive pixel of information goes in the display memory. These parameters are set at the time an orientation mode is selected, and the use of these parameters by the driver allows the same instructions to be used for each mode.

Title: Fault tolerant computer system
Inventor: RONSTROM MIKAEL
IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 1999-08-09
Granted: 2011-03-08
Abstract: Fault tolerant computer system and method requiring reduced inter-unit communications. A primary system is arranged to execute event processes in response to received commands. Each time the execution of an event process is halted, due to normal termination or an interrupt, an event generator generates an event message indicating the type of event process and the reason or timing for halting the event process. The event message is used to instruct a backup system to execute the same event process. Since the event message also specifies the reason and the timing for halting the event process, the execution of the event process can be replicated at the backup system. Thus, the primary system and the at least one backup system will be synchronized. At least one standby system may be provided for recording in an event log the sequence of event messages, and for storing an archive copy of memory contents of the primary system. The event log with the archive copy may be used to restore the system state of the primary system.

Title: Vertical log singulator with profiled surface
Inventor: GOATER GEORGE H
IPC: B65G61/00
Filed: 2002-04-24
Granted: 2006-01-03
Abstract: This invention provides log singulators which allow for the vertical singulation of piles of logs fed from typical in-feed log decks, so that these logs may be fed individually to typical out-feed conveyors. Devices provided by this invention may be high-speed singulators occupying minimal floor space area. Singulators provided by this invention comprise arcuately oscillating lifting devices ("primary lifting devices"), preferably rotating synchronously in opposite directions. Preferably, these singulators elevate logs against vertically successive barriers. These barriers are shaped so that only one of either a largest log or a smallest log, which it is expected that the singulator should handle, can rest on the primary lifting devices and be carried upward at a time. As a result, the lower section of these barriers is shaped in a manner that does not allow two smallest logs to rest side by side on the primary lifting devices, but allows a single smallest or a single largest (or any single log within the range) to rest on the primary lifting devices and be raised upward. Singulators provided by this invention may also comprise an unloading station, which receives the logs from the primary lifting devices and directs them to the out-feed conveyor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for identifying boundaries between thin beds having different resistivities. In one embodiment, the method includes (a) transmitting an oscillatory signal from a first transmitter; (b) determining a first phase difference between signals induced in two receiver s by the oscillator signal from the first transmitter; (c) transmitting an oscillatory signal from a second transmitter; (d) determining a second phase difference between signals induced in the two receivers by the oscillatory signal from the second transmitter; and (e) calculating an interferometric difference between the first and second phase differences. When the transmitters are symmetrically located with respect to the receivers, the interferometric difference exhibits a maximum or minimum value near the boundary location. This low-complexity method provides good boundary detecti on results when the bed thickness is larger than the transmitter-receiver spacing. In a second method embodiment, the interferometric difference is calculated from the logarithm of the measured attenuation.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des mélanges faits d'une résine source d'iode et d'une résine de capture d'iode permettant de désinfecter efficacement des solutions contenant des protéines telles que le plasma. Ces mélanges peuvent être utilisés de façon chromatographique pour désinfecter efficacement les solutions en n'affectant que de façon minime les protéines labiles telles que les facteurs de coagulation. Les résines mélangées contenant une quantité équivalente de résine source d'iode et de résine de capture d'iode (50:50) sont efficaces dans de nombreux cas. Si malgré tout la protéine est encore affectée, on peut utiliser un mélange idéal contenant une quantité inférieure d'iode (par exemple, 25:75 ou même 5:95). Si les propriétés de désinfection ne sont pas satisfaisantes, les rapports peuvent être augmentés (par exemple, 80:20). Curieusement, les résines mélangées n'affectent pas les composants tissulaires tels que les globules rouges et les plaquettes. Dans certains cas, les résines mélangées sont même utilisées dans un processus continu dans lequel on élimine la résine par centrifugation ou filtration à la fin du traitement.
